will the beta api ever be removed
1
Hello. Yes, the Beta API will be removed as soon as Mojang releases features related to weather in the official release.
1
Did this add-on need to activate a beta-api?
1
Hello, at the moment - no.
1
I see, thank you, i am glad it doesn't require a beta-api
1
In fact, I plan to use the Beta APIs starting from version 2.0.9; however, I am still not sure whether it is worth doing.

could you maybe add witch water to get soil sand and maybe have a clay bucket as well. this is a really good mod 👍👍
1
Hello! Thank you for the positive feedback! 🙌
Yes, I’m planning to add witch water, as well as many other mechanics related to water and witch water.
However, adding a clay bucket is not planned at the moment.
I’d really appreciate it if you could leave a rating for the addon ⭐

anyone know how can i get clay/mwater
1
To obtain water, you need to craft a barrel and wait for rain. Over time, the barrel will fill with water on its own (make sure there are no blocks above it).

To obtain clay, crush gravel into dust using a hammer and place the dust into a barrel filled with water.

P.S. I’m planning to create a wiki with a progression guide soon.

can i also ask why flint mesh doesn't work?
1
The flint mesh is working correctly. It’s just that Ex Nihilo: Sequentia has an interesting drop system. Each mesh can only sift specific types of blocks. For example, you can sift dirt using a string mesh, but if you try the same with a flint mesh, you won’t get any drops. (It might be worth restricting the ability to sift blocks that aren’t compatible 🤔).

At the moment, the flint mesh can only be used to sift gravel.

If you’d like to follow the progress or ask questions, I recommend visiting our Discord server: https: //discord.com/invite/CMgCtkHQvJ

this is really cool concept, but sadly nothing was loaded into the game
1
Could you clarify what you mean by "nothing was loaded into the game"? Was there an error during loading?
